My first christmastree this year..... embrodered !! Now first the celebrations of the 5th dec it is Sinterklaas in Holland. And after that celebration, my home will be decorated in Christmasstyle !!!

Japanese Work Finished

My hexagones where finishes so I only had to sandwich this little project, quilt it, and a few stitches here and there and today... it is finished. I have a nice brown bag, this little purse will be in there... and only you know what is inside, little pieces of fabric who need to be joined.... no worries when I have to wait...always something to do with me....

A new friend

In one of my Tilda books N saw this little friend, she liked it so much she asked it for her birthday.... thanks to G i found the fabric on the stoffenspektakel where I was only looking for nice fabrics for clothes G was so clever to remind me of N's wish, Thanks !!

And here our little new friend is .....

civil war update

And a little star too... I am doing the sashings straight away.... because it are so many... otherwise I will only see sashings in the end....

Update Civil war

Actually I haven't done much... but is still want to make a small update... to get me going again ... update was a few days ago...sorry late again.

Hexagones

And the purse is in progress too... The first hexagones are joined together, as you can see here, but stil a lot to go..... but I should finish this one much quicker then the other one.....

N's new dress

P smst me yesterday.... can I borow you re pattern of the dress of Nathalie.... I didn't make it but it was just the push I needed, so after diner with our friends, I made it in one evening, isn't it nice !!!! She loves it and wears it to school today...

Sashings

Not a real Update because it is not the 14th of the month. But I am starting to make my sashings... beacuse otherwise I am afraid it will be to much sashings at once.... 121 blocks means 242 sashings and not even counted the conrnerstones with it... so better start now !!! I still haven't decided what kind of colour my cornerstones will be... but I will keep you posted

Embrodery

And the other one is in blue.... I am trying to make an scandinavien room with a lot of light colours .. ofcourse my favourite pink and blue.

Embrodery

I started a while ago with two embroderies... not knowing where to hang them when they finished. But this weekend all came clear and I am now anxious to finish them. This one the pink is already finished....

Finished embrodery (1)

On the Tradeshow of last friday, where I went with C. One of my catches was this design.. I bought it and started the same evening with the embrodery.... and today it is finished !!! On the next 3 pictures you will see the rest...

Civil war dairy Update

It is the 14th of the month: Civil war dairy Quilt Update date... And here they are I have 4 new blocks to show you...

This one I changed a little in the middle it had to be blue as well but I liked the red inside, you probably will not see it when the quilt is finished with so many blocks, but I like to like every block...

Civil war Dairy Update number 4 and an other one with my favorite pinks !! As you know by now I love pink, not only,

but there has to be enough pink in the quilt...

Biscornu

And the biscornu is as finished as cann be. I made the pattern two times one with only flowers and on with 2009 on it. A little project G, M and I are going to make every year. If you want to see a much smaller one... you have to look at bungehuis..very pretty but to small for my eyes, hahahaha

stoffenspektakel

On Sunday I went with G and P to the stoffenspektakel and I bought new fabric for clothes for the girls.... A new challenge I didn't sow clothes for quit some years now... you will see the progress on this blog... the patterns are already made... now I have to cut the fabric....

And what I bought in Alkmaar

In alkmaar I bought the book Material Obsession in the nice bookshop just across the church I saw a lot of quilters found that nice bookshop with a lot of quiltbooks... and I bought all the fabric for a nice new project.... I saw it first in Quiltmania... and then on the show... I couldn't resist... my love for old fabrics, old patterns and new for me round pieces... I am going to piece this by hand... with the machine it means to much trouble. The quilt is called country wheels. The first circle is finished, will be published soon.

Show in Alkmaar 2

And an other nice one, but there where so many... But I already saw some other pictures on the other blogs...

Show in Alkmaar

The quilt is not finished yet.... but Bear sleeps well under it... it will be finishes soon, but already she playes a lot with it... isn't it fun when they love you're quilting too !!! Under this section I have writen and showed some other projects I am working on at the moment...

Bear in need of a sleeping place

Well my youngest has a favorite toy, she sleeps with every night.... a little bear I made when she was younger... no eyes,

just how she wanted it.... but it needs to sleep during the time she is at school...but where and how.... well we found an old basket which fits and ofcourse a quilt has to be made...

knitting

As I like a lot of things to do, I started a small new project. My oldest almost 15 liked this pattern very much.... you can imagine how happy I am she still wants something mammy made so I started knitting right away. Here you see a picture of what it will became and how far I am. Because it is almost autumn we choose a darker colour.

Update embrodery

As you know I already finished one of the ladies of mucha, lately I started the other one, to make a pair in the hallway. Well I am halfway at the moment so I will show you the result untill so far. I changed the colours slighty so that they make a nice pair.... although I like bright aqua very much I didn't like it next to the other one... the feather I am not really happy about the result I will do the last..so probably it will change..
